After words denoting number or quantity, which serve for comparison: dimidium tributi quam quod regibus ferre soliti erant, populo Romano pendere, the half of what, half as much as, Liv. 45, 18:

multiplex, quam pro numero, damnum est,

too great for, greater than, id. 7, 8:

ferramenta duplicia, quam numerus servorum exigit,

twice as many as, Col. 1, 8, 8.—So, too, after designations of time:
